“The reason I went through the crowd is honestly because I don’t want to see anybody backstage, I’ve sat at home for four months pi**ed off, which is also why you saw me Powerbomb somebody, I don’t even know if it lasted a minute, I was throwing those Powerbombs a little stiffer than usual. Like I said, I have four months of anger, built up four months of not being able to do what I love. Four months of not being able to get out that physicality. You know I’m a bit of a psychotic man,” Wardlow said.
